I just got back from a trip this weekend (more on the trip later). If you take as many pictures as I do you’ll inevitably get used to the popular “What are you taking a picture of?” questions by those around you. My wonderful husband has gotten used to this quirky habit and doesn’t usually complain (unless it’s of him) although our friends who joined us on this trip didn’t have the appropriate warning.

2. Maybe I don’t always have a sunset, portrait, or gorgeous flower to shoot?
3. Maybe I find beauty in the everyday items that most would pass over?
4. Maybe my aforementioned husband HATES having his picture taken and I don’t have a slave munchkin – I can force my shooting on?
